How Do I Know If I Need Therapy?
The decision to seek therapy is a personal one, and there are no strict criteria. You might consider therapy if:

2. Life Transitions: You're navigating significant life changes, such as a career shift, relationship transition, or loss, and would like support in adapting to these changes.

Absolutely not. Therapy is for everyone, and you don’t need a specific diagnosis to seek support. Many individuals engage in therapy for personal growth, navigating life’s challenges, and enhancing their overall well-being.
Is Therapy Confidential?
Confidentiality is a fundamental aspect of therapy. Conversations between you and your therapist are protected by privacy laws.
